1. What is Memshare?
Ship building is a wide process structured on certain steps,
involving a lot of materials and human resources.
Memshare is the software that can help you build ships
better and faster. We will achieve this by accelerating and
improving communication, as well as the information flow.
Every task can be structured and shared among
employees, allowing to organize both the work process
and workers, leading to the entire project's success.

Aspects
3.1 QC Flow - Check

There are many flowcharts
showing the processes QC
controls. This is one of them
showing the steps followed by
QC department in the circuit of
checking activities in the
shipyard.

3.3 Project General View
Shows the activity level through
“Ship Process” and “Issues”
sections.
The colors show what employee
modified a certain step.

4. QR Codes
A QR code is a 2D code, bidimensional, similar with barcodes. They can store
theoretical dimensions and are used to check if the ship component was executed
properly.
In production, all of the sketches will have codes printed. They can save a lot of time
because, printed on the schematics papers, the codes will send information directly
from Naval Architect to the Quality Control team/ Foreman.
QR codes provide quick transfer of the data into the system.
10
4.1 Steps for Using QR Codes
1. By entering specific data in the table, the architect generates a QR code, which will be
printed afterwards on the sketch.
11
2. The foreman scans it and the theoretical dimensions are displayed.
3. The foreman fills in the fields for real values.
4. If there are differences, the system will generate an issue tree. When everything is fine,
then the components will be moved to an “OK” tree.

Afterwards, QC adds a tag describing the importance of the issue and
forwards the situation to the foreman for further changes. This type of
notifications improves QC 's route of checking procedures.

5. Case Studies
Case study 1 – Welding Belt
Welding two components can lead to an issue regarding the dimensions of the belt.
Firstly, the architect completes the table, generating the QR code on the sketch.
14
Case Study 1 – Issue Tree & Adding Tags
After completing the real values, if the belt is supra-dimensional, the differences will
generate the issue tree and QC places the tag. Afterwards, the foreman is notified to
change the problem.
After fixing the problem, the
components will be moved in the
“OK” tree.
15
Case study 2 – Board Panel
When welding 3 boards the layers may move, resulting a form different than
rectangle. Therefore, the diagonals have to be measured to make sure it is right.
16
Case Study 2 – Issue Tree & Adding Tags
QC will be notified and, if the task is not properly done, it is sent to foreman for
review. The values will be corrected.
When everything is replaced, the
issue is moved in the “OK” tree.

node as template, its structure will be copied and you can use it later for other
project, saving hours of work.
18
Outstanding Items – Tests Template
The whole ship testing process
can be easily organized.
Creating a node with tests and
setting it as template will
significantly save time for the
next ship project because
there will be no need to write
all the steps again.

6.2 Document Template
After the document form is set, generate it with: right click ->”Generate

Step 1 and you only complete certain fields.
Step 2
First step is writing the document as
you want. The fields that have to be
completed will have a coded format.
20
Non- conformance Sheet Generating
If you are in a hurry and you have to write too many documents, the
solution is called “Generating documents”. Here are the steps for
completing and generating a non-conformance sheet.
1. Select the form you need for
the document.
4. You now have your form
completed with the
information needed!
2.Complete the
rows according to
your information.
3. Generate the document from the node it was entered in.

6.3 How to Add Tags
Tags are labels/ short words, used as importance classifiers for
different problems that may appear. This is how a tag is added:
22
Searching by Tags
Searching by tag will show all the tasks included in a certain category. This
option helps building a database that can be accessed anytime by every
employee, reducing the time allocated to their work instruction.
Searching after “Training” tag will display
the node with instructions, that is important
in teaching employees the rules and the
preventive measures for future activities.
Search after “Blocking” tag
shows all tasks that need
remedy.

6.4 Notifications
New things added are instantly marked and you will know about them thanks to the
blue pop-up box. You can see this notification while you work in other programs, so
you won't miss anything.
